The essay topic for the Pollitzer Travel Awards is now available. This competition is designed to help students defray the costs of attending the AAPA meetings and is open to all AAPA student members (undergraduate and graduate) who are attending the annual meeting, whether or not they are an author on a poster or podium presentation.

The deadline for these 750-word essays is January 1, 2017. The on-line submission form will be available on December 1, 2016.

As the committee of judges look forward to reading how students weigh-in on the 2017 topic, we want to reiterate our congratulations to our 2016 winners.
